Thermo Time Switch Wiring
« on: April 24, 2025, 17:26:59 »
Hello Folks,
When fixing the Thermo Time Switch wire connectors, I neglected to note which wire is connected to which terminal.
There is a pink wire, a pink/blue wire, and a large and a small terminal.
If someone can enlighten me as to which wire goes where, it would be much appreciated. It would save me the need to undertake a crash course in reading wiring diagrams.

Wre...thanks for your prompt reply.

I am familiar with the comprehensive description of the switch on the forum; however, it doesn't tell me which wire goes where.
In the diagram, I assume that the "G" terminal is the ground, but, for the connection, I need to know which of the two wires is the ground wire.

Or, in my ignorance, am I missing something?
